Vinnie Hinostroza hasn't produced at a high clip for the Chicago Blackhawks, but after pulling off a play like this, maybe he's ready.
The 22-year-old forward scored an impressive goal Saturday night against the St. Louis Blues that held up as the game-winner, kicking a rebound with his skate to his stick and burying a shot on the backhand to give Chicago a 5-4 lead in an eventual 6-4 victory.
Hinostroza's celebration was equally terrific.

It was his second goal and fifth point of 2016-17.
